Religious Exemptions

    Hobby Lobby is trying to get a religious exemption in order to avoid providing contraceptives to its employees covered under their insurance plans. They're claiming that just as corporations are considered people when it comes to free speech, they should be considered people when it comes to religious freedom. I disagree. Corporations aren't people. They're collections of people. People with different opinions and religious beliefs. By making them people, they're giving the heads of these corporations the freedom to impose their religious beliefs on their employees. I'm tired of these cocksucking religious zealots ramming their superstitions down everyone's throats. If you're against contraceptives, don't use them. That's your right. But forcing that belief on others is wrong.

Ass Crack Licking Politicians

The federal government will never pass any meaningful legislation regulating the banking industry. Why? Because most politicians spend far too much time licking the shit out of the top bankers' ass cracks in order to get that precious campaign cash. Politicians are pretty much the ass crack lickers to the rich and the corporations. This has been especially true now that the Supreme Court declared corporations to be people and money to be speech. Now the rich can donate shitloads of both personal and corporate cash and buy all the political power they want. The rest of us are fucked.
